Attending Candler gives you the opportunity to enjoy life in Atlanta, one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. Emory's campus is located in the historic intown neighborhood of Druid Hills, which provides ample green space for you to enjoy but is also quite close to the heart of a major urban center.

Atlanta is home to many historic sites like the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, as well as a thriving culinary scene, an impressive center for the arts, the world's largest aquarium, and multiple professional sports teams. But some of the best attractions are the city's small neighborhoods—closely knit communities with their own unique history and character. Many are walkable and filled with local restaurants and coffee shops, providing a sense of home in the midst of a bustling city landscape.

Emory University does not offer on-campus housing for graduate and professional students, nor does Candler School of Theology have a housing department, however there are a number of resources that graduate and professional students have found helpful in their housing search.
